1.       Identify and explain the categories of the websites (B2C, B2B, etc.)

B2C is transaction between business to customer. Customer received final product or services directly from company as end users. B2C usually at shopping mall, eating at restaurant and etc transaction from company to users. B2C sales must maintain good relations with their customers to come back. This B2C transactions apply on Amazon, Zalora and Tupperware website because their offers product at websites to end users. The customers order product in websites and received final product or services directly from company as end users. 

B2B is transaction between business to business. Such as transactions between a manufacturer and wholesaler, or a wholesaler and a retailer. B2B typicaly involves in supply chain of companies when a companies purchase components and products such as raw materials for use in manufacturing processes. This B2B transactions apply on Amazon and Zalora website.Zalora is B2B transactions because Zalora offer the options of dropship and consignment for who has the business brands out there to experience and publish their brands in Zalora website as third-party selection. Moreover Amazon also B2B transaction because Amazon offers users to sells through Amazon website. Amazon has been helping individuals and businesses increase sales and reach new customers. Today, more than 40% of Amazon's total unit sales come from third-party selection. Tupperware website does not apply B2B transactions because Tupperware only make sales to customers to received final product directly from company as end users.

      Which e-commerce do you prefer? Explain your reason.

I prefer Amazon because it have success of the best sells. Amazon site has a unique design and it has a lot of high quality graphics on the front page, and each subpage is packed with content. Amazon page have the content that well-formated with tons of useful information for the buyers. The internal structure of Amazon that will definitely help the site rank higher for not just one but many keywords as it allows link juice to flow throughout the site. Furthermore, Amazon has no affiliate link on the homepage and funnel the traffic to a comparison chart and other review articles on the sidebar. Moreover Amazon offers an easy to use selling platform for numerous product categories, including beauty, books and home improvement.
